Five sustainable sector names, led by Bloom Energy's 223% jump, have significantly outperformed major US benchmarks and AI funds this year, driven by rising power demands and superior returns compared to laggard clean energy ETFs.

  • GN stocks/sp500 details that FuelCell Energy has also delivered triple-digit returns, while Aspen Aerogels and Vicor have surged over 81% and 97% respectively, all significantly outpacing the roughly 8% gains seen in major clean energy ETFs like ICLN and QCLN.
